As the name implies, the Six Six One Evo AM Helmet is a next generation
trail helmet with all the features you need. The modern-looking shell
is built from Contigo foam, which was chosen for its energy-absorbing
properties. Specifically, it’s claimed to absorb as much as 30% more energy
from an impact than the EPS foams used in almost every other certified
bicycle helmet. While that may be the most important detail, more subtle
refinements, such as the two-position adjustable visor and the user-friendly
Boa retention system mean that you don’t have to forgo modern features
in the pursuit of protection. And it’s topped off with a Fidlock magnetic
buckle that takes pretty much all the effort out of strapping on your
lid, despite the fact that it’s completely secure.
